Summary
Drew and Doug return to the KVSH studio for a transportation-themed edition of Classic Rock and Beyond, where every song revolves around cars, driving, road trips, highways, and the occasional vehicular misadventure. The musical journey starts on the open road with Golden Earring’s “Radar Love”, cruising through a set that includes Incubus, Stone Temple Pilots, Deep Purple, War, Tom Petty, The Cars, Death Cab for Cutie, Modest Mouse, Primus, Jack Johnson, and more. From late-night highway drives to racecar drivers and dashboard reflections, the playlist traces every corner of car culture.
Weird News
New Hampshire — A local church’s holy water mysteriously turned into something closer to festive cider. Suspicion naturally turns to “Cider Dave,” a local character known for cider-based mischief.
New Jersey — A tugboat captain allegedly allowed a barge to drift away because a long line at a nearby food truck delayed his breakfast sandwich. The barge wandered through three municipalities before finally beaching on Staten Island.
New Mexico — A tourist from Ohio found himself completely frozen when asked the state’s famous culinary question: “Red or green chilies?” Unable to respond, he stood paralyzed for several minutes while locals looked on in confusion.
Things That Make Doug Mad
Doug vents about tourists without common sense, particularly those visiting Vashon to see the island troll. According to Doug, curiosity is fine — but basic situational awareness seems to disappear somewhere on the ferry ride over.
From high-speed highway rock to nighttime drives and racecar stories, this episode delivers a full tank of transportation-themed music, weird headlines, and classic CRAB banter. Tune in, or don’t™
